I applied online. I interviewed at Gensler in Jun 2024
Interview
Saw an ad on LinkedIn, applied through the link in the ad. I had a conversation with an HR employee in California. A few weeks later I interviewed in person. The two studio directors I spoke with were new to that location. They seemed nice enough. Didn't get the job but heard through the grapevine that Gensler had seen quite a bit of turnover in my area after mandating no more hybrid work schedules. That's what you get for taking away a benefit like hybrid work.

Professional, respectful, friendly, and they are genuinely interested to understand your skills and your goals in your career. Took two rounds of interview. HR was also professional and swift in replies
